Increase mpg easy

[The_Yeti]

Hmmmm... must be from Canada, they love denim

[guruerror]

UPDATE: My last three tanks of gas yielded the following MPG (NOTE: this is WITHOUT the Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator):

1st Tank: 11.3 (this is my typically MPG since installing the 37s, 4.56 gears, exhaust and CAI)
2nd Tank: 11.1 (got a bit hotter that week, so I used the AC a bit)
3rd Tank: 10.7 (been hotter then hell most days...I used the AC nearly this whole tank)

I had the truck's emissions test performed Saturday morning with the following results:

Emissions Readings:
HC(ppm): 6 (MD state standards: 100)
CO%: 0.01 (MD state standards: 0.75)

SIDE NOTE: I've never paid attention to the emissions reports before and was very surprised to see that the truck's numbers were so low. Someone should tell the huggers...

I installed the Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator Saturday evening. I bungied the demin sack to the top of the gas tank where the fuel line felt like it exited...as instructed. I capped off my tank, reset my trip-o-meter...LET THE TEST BEGIN.

Updates will be forthcoming.

3rd tank: (working on that now)

The 2nd tank surprised me because I spent 150 miles towing my 5x8 with ATV through the mountains of western Maryland. I was using the Towing feature; the truck had noticeably different shift points and it was obvious that the extra weight was there. I expected this tank to yield much lower MPG due to the hauling, but it came out .2 higher.

I used to run a fuel catalyst in my 2 stroke 500cc atv all the time and found them to keep my fuel always fresher and never had any fuel problems while running it. They look like metal "mentos" that you drop in your tank.
I would not be surprised if there was some science here at work with this moon dust.
Making fuel is a science in itself. Here is a link to the catalyst:

One of my friend's dads does something similar and swears by it. He is currently testing it out as well and is going to tell me the results. But he claims more drastic changes in fuel economy than 2mpg, more like 15mpg. If it pans out I'll throw it on here and we can combine all these products for the most fuel efficient vehicle ever.

That 3rd tank averaged 10.7. (SIGH)

And I had such high hopes... wait... nope.... actually I didnt.

Even better than that. Put a clothes pin on the fuel line.
Works every time.

Keep watching, the truck's mpg calculator is slow. You can manually check for quicker results. What was your emissions retest? Thats why I sent you the SF28 to check emissions.

My mpg is 13.1 and climbing.

I have been checking the last six tanks manually; the three prior to the installation and the three since the installation.

I am currently on my fourth tank since the installation and will be filling up this evening, so I'll have another set of results to post. I'll do another emissions test this Saturday and post the results as well...as that was part of our agreement. But to be honest (and I think I speak for most of this forum) I wouldn't pay money for this if the only positive result was 'lower emissions' especially since I've seen how low the truck blows already. It would have to post some MPG results for me to come out of pocket with the George Washingtons.

I'm also going to leave the unit attached and see if there are any long term MPG results (posting back here and there) and also to see my dealer's reaction when he finds it on top of the tank...that'll be funny.

Tank 4: 11.1

Must be that dry heat...

Something isn't right, your mpg is all over the place. Does your computer agree with your calcs? Reset your truck's mpg calculator and watch it, over time it should increase. Something else to consider is your driving habits, are you driving basicly the same conditions or are you pulling trailers or city driving vs highway etc ? All things to consider. Possible you got a bad batch but this has ALLWAYS work with positive results. Thanks for the testing by the way.

I wouldn't say it's 'all over the place'...LOL. It's within .6 across the board. Any abnormalities in my typical driving habits for each tank have been outlined in my posts. These last four tanks have been very 'vanilla.'. No AC, no towing, no unusual trips, speeds or changes in gas types.

Starting tomorrow, I am putting rabbit eggs in my fuel tank.

I expect a 100% increase in my MPG.

Tank 5: 11.0

Today's Emissions Readings:
HC(ppm): 6 (MD state standards: 100)
CO%: 0.01 (MD state standards: 0.75)

The emissions are the same as before. Maybe I've got a bad batch of moon rocks?! Houston, we have a problem. LOL.

[diablo344]

Great post. Thank you for the information

[starkey188]

Hey Guru, if I send you a postage paid box would you send the unit back? I would like to inspect it to see why it didn't work.
